Inter­na­tio­nal Support of Conscien­tious Objec­tors and Deserters

A new refusal letter is on the way

(02.02.2025) [...] Our new project is a refusal letter of medical servicemen and women of the Israeli army. Medics such as myself, doctors, paramedics, as well as mental health professionals who have been forced to make the unconscionable choice between continuing our participation in this war, or abandoning our fellow comrades, who are friends, family, and community, and have just the same been forced to the battlefield by Netanyahu’s regime.

How you helped us, ordinary people, to stop this war

(20.01.2025) My name is Max Kresch, I’m 28 years old. I was a combat soldier, and I refused to continue serving in this unjust war in Gaza. Today I wanted to thank you for helping me and my friends, hundreds of soldiers who refused fighting, to force the Israeli government to stop this war.
